Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Small fishing village with a traditional boat ramp. Large pebble beach between cliffs. Works on a NW swell at mid to high tide. A charming spot with a local flavour.
Best from September to March, when large Atlantic depressions send a swell into the Channel.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Pebble beach — watch entries/exits and impacts. Booties useful.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Quiberville usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Quiberville is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Quiberville comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Quiberville, you can also check conditions at Sotteville, Pourville, Dieppe. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
